BIBL.INI
Configuration file for BIBL 8.x
You may comment this file if desired...just don't put
anything other than the value for a given line while
on the line with label. Lines can be no longer than 60
characters. Labels must begin flush with the left margin.
EDIT=
registered version adds the following lines:
Enter your registration number on the REGIS= line. Once
done, you no longer need the file BIBL.REG
REGIS=
PATH=
OPAC=
VIEW=
The label EDIT is used for viewing/editing/printing text
files. If you link files to records in a database, this
program will be used to view them. If you're linking in
ASCII files, you should probably use BIBL's built in
ASCII viewer--it can deal with files of any size...and
is mouseable.
Registered version only
V I E W
The label VIEW should contain the name of the file
associated with image files (PCX, GIF, TIF, IMG, or WPG).
If you are using the SHAREWARE version, you can put IMAGE
files in your records, but pressing L (to follow the link
will shell to DOS...you'll have to type the program that
views the image file and give it the file name.
If you're using the registered version of BIBL, list your
image file viewing program (e.g., BIBLPCX that comes with
the registered version of BIBL) on the VIEW= line. BIBL
will call that program and pass the name of the file in
the LINK field...yielding a seamless display function.
O P A C
The label OPAC forces BIBL to run in read-only mode. Set
the OPAC label to OPAC=TRUE to force read-only mode...the
same outcome can be obtained by using the /p switch on
BIBL's command line (e.g., BIBL /p [return]).
P A T H
The label PATH= is used to set a path to the databases
(*.DAT and *.IX files) if you're running the program
from somewhere else...for example, a 2 floppy system
with BIBL.EXE and BIBL.INI on drive A: and the databases
on drive B:; or a network where you share a data drive.
Put the FULL PATH on the line...BIBL will delete any
\ it finds on the end of the path so you need add it.
(e.g., C:\BIBL\DATA ).
H E A P
You can force BIBL to use more than 40% of available RAM
for in-memory storage of index buffers...just put a
number on the HEAP= line. If you have enough EMS memory
available, BIBL will ignore the HEAP= directive.
Caveats: the number must be at least 20K (e.g., HEAP=20000)
and it should probably be small enough that you leave yourse
20K of extra heap for program operation. To arrive at the l
possible number you can use, type MEM at your DOS prompt,
then subtract 490K from the figure shown (470K for BIBL and
a 20K margin). The result is the maximum you can use. Using
more memory will speed up indexing operations (e.g., you wan
to import a large BIX file) and indexed searching (author,
title, keyword).
HEAP=
Registered users, set EMS=No to turn off use of EMS even if
you have it available on your system.
EMS=
Set this to Yes to pause the initialization reporting screen
WAIT=
